high, we recommend the use of an AC adapter
whenever possible. In case you use batteries, use
either alkaline or nickel-metal hydride batteries.

Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the H4n has been designed
to provide maximum protection against the emission of
electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and
protection from external interference. However, the
equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that
emits powerful electromagnetic waves should not be placed
near the H4n, as the possibility of interference cannot be
ruled out entirely.
>P[OHU`[`WLVMKPNP[HSJVU[YVSKL]PJL[OL/UPUJS\KLK
electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning
and can corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to
minimize the risk of damage.
